The Lincoln Trail Classic would like to apologize to those runners
whose times were not recorded. There was a minor glitch with the official
clock's printer and we would rather not posting the time instead of providing an
inaccurate finish time to the runner. A special thank you to the Wabash Valley
Road Runners for all their help in making the Lincoln Trail Classic a huge
success.
